Yes, I’ve read different threads about battery care but I need specific advice regarding my circumstances.
I’ve got 4 batteries for my Mavic 2. However, due to family and work commitments I only get to fly once or twice a week. Erratic weather where I live also sometimes prevents me from flying on my days off.
Sometimes I’m lucky and fly for a couple of consecutive days but sometimes circumstances conspire against me and it could be anything between 1-2 weeks in between flights. I’ve got all my batteries set to auto discharge but what I want to know is if say:
I’ve flown on one day, used up approximately 80% of each of my 3 batteries but didn’t touch the 4th. What would be the best way to care for them?
Do I charge all 3 up when I return home - not knowing when I’ll be flying again? Or should I let them auto-discharge to as low as possible before charging them back up to 100% the day before I know I’ll be flying?
And what about the 4th? I’ve noticed if it’s fully charged and I try to charge it 24hrs later it won’t charge. It’s as if the battery won’t charge if it has say 95% battery life remaining (I’m not sure of the exact percentage but it won’t light up on the charger) - which is annoying because I’d like the full 100% ready when I need it.
Also, what’s the best advice for battery care when you don’t fly for 1-2 weeks? Do I charge them up to 100% and let them auto-discharge or do I let them discharge and then recharge them the night before I’m due to fly? I’m asking because I obviously want to prolong the lives of my batteries.
Thanks in advance for taking time out to read my questions and respond.
